The pace on that kid! Arsenal's training ground have frequent sprint races and he usually wins. He runs up and down that pitch like a freaking race car -- AND he's effectively contained Cristiano Ronaldo a few times now (drives the mancs crazy). :-D He and Sagna are our marauding fullbacks, they're just a couple of tought little dynamos. Ade and Chabal? Wow, never saw that! :-) Clichy is freaking amazing! The pace on that kid! Arsenal’s training ground have frequent sprint races and he usually wins.

(I tuned in about thirty seconds before it happened.) It sounds like I tuned in at about the right time -- they're saying that up until Arsenal scored it was all about Reading playing defense. Now that they've scored they can't do that. Our French boys are playing well, especially Flamini. I'm also impressed by how Clichy positions himself on the field. You rarely hear his name, but he's always drawing away defenders or giving another passing option. And is it just me, or is there a certain Sebastien Chabal quality to Adebayor? :-) Sandra, I realized at the end of the first half that this was on Setanta, so I got to see the Flamini goal!

Arsenal game as I type this (I'm recording it at home on Setanta) and so far I've heard of nothing horrible, tho Reading are playing very hard because Arsenal thrashed them twice last season and they don't want a repeat. You'll be glad to hear that our own little feisty Gattuso (Wenger calls him "bossy"), the one and only defensive midfielder who frees Fabregas to work his magic, Matthieu Flamini, has scored in the first half (his teammates have nicknamed him "Gattuso.") A wonderful, rare Flamster goal! Well I’m listening to the Reading v.
